    Vector Groups: Winding Connections

    Uploaded by

    Bhavya Sri
    The document discusses vector groups which provide information about winding connections and phase displacement in transformers. It explains star, delta and zigzag winding connections and how phase displacement digits relate to the phase difference between high voltage and low voltage windings. An example of a Dyn11 transformer connection is provided along with other possible configurations.

    Vector Groups

    Transformer nameplates carry a vector group reference such at Yy0, Yd1, Dyn11 etc. This relatively simple nomenclature provides important information about the way in which three phase windings are connected and any phase displacement that occurs. Winding Connections HV windings are designated: Y, D or Z (upper case) LV windings are designated: y, d or z (lower case) Where: Y or y indicates a star connection D or d indicates a delta connection Z or z indicates a zigzag connection N or n indicates that the neutral point is brought out Phase Displacement The digits ( 0, 1, 11 etc) relate to the phase displacement between the HV and LV windings using a clock face notation. The phasor representing the HV winding is taken as reference and set at 12 o'clock. It then follows that: Digit 0 means that the LV phasor is in phase with the HV phasor Digit 1 that it lags by 30 degrees Digit 11 that it leads by 30 degrees etc All references are taken from phase-to-neutral and assume a counter-clockwise phase rotation. The neutral point may be real (as in a star connection) or imaginary (as in a delta connection) When transformers are operated in parallel it is important that any phase shift is the same through each. Paralleling typically occurs when transformers are located at one site and connected to a common busbar (banked) or located at different sites with the secondary terminals connected via distribution or transmission circuits consisting of cables and overhead lines Basic Theory An ac voltage applied to a coil will induce a voltage in a second coil where the two are linked by a magnetic path. The phase relationship of the two voltages depends upon which way round the coils are connected. The voltages will either be in-phase or displaced by 180 deg as below:

    In phase

    180deg displacement

    When 3 coils are used in a 3 phase transformer winding a number of options exist. The coil voltages can be in phase or displaced as above with the coils connected in star or delta and, in the case of a star winding, have the star point (neutral) brought out to an external terminal or not. Example - Dyn11 We now know that this transformer has a delta connected primary winding ( D) a star connected secondary (y) with the star point brought out (n) and a phase shift of 30 deg leading (11). Connections and vector diagrams are as follows::

    HV

    LV

    Other Configurations By connecting the ends of the windings in other ways a wide range of options becomes available as set out below. Phase shift (deg) 0 30 lag 60 lag 120 lag 150 lag 180 lag 150 lead 120 lead 60 lead 30 lead Yy0 Yd1 Dd2 Dd4 Yd5 Yy6 Yd7 Dd8 Dd10 Yd11 Connections Dd0 Dy1 Dz2 Dz4 Dy5 Dd6 Dy7 Dz8 Dz10 Dy11 Yz11 Yz5 Dz6 Yz7 Dz0 Yz1
